Childhood
for Leslie Raddatz is one continuing nightmare.
To survive, she represses her memories until one day, when she is a
34-year-old woman, a wife and mother, her past erupts into the present with a
full blown flashback. It is the onset of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD),
and it threatens to destroy what mental and physical endurance she has salvaged
through the years. But, her child within cries out for recognition and mercy.
More psychological disorders emerge -- somatization and conversion. Is she to
lose everything and everyone she loves to the madness of her past?
She
agrees to relive her childhood under the protection of a professional counselor
and comes to understand how her parents’ neglect made her an easy target for
predators who sexually, physically and emotionally abuse her over and over
again. She graduates from victim to survivor while detailing today’s
sophisticated techniques that help her heal:
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), attachment and ego
state therapy, Brainspotting, positive imagery, resource building, coping
skills, art therapy, task therapy, and counseling.
